PAINT-REMOVEE.

. To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I,' GEORGE F. Sayers, a citizen of the United States,residing at Stokesville, in the county of Augusta and.

State of Virginia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements inPaintdemovers, of which the yfollowing is a specification.Thisinvent-ion relates to new and useful `improvements in paint removersand lnore particularly to that class of paint removers where a .torch isused 'to loosenvthe paint and a chisel to 'follow forscraping the same.

Herebefore paint removers of this class consist-ed of a torch which wascarried in one hand of the operator and a chisel t-o be carried in hisoppositel hand which has been very disadvantageousand the primary objectof this invention is to provide a device of this character whereby thetorch and chisel may be vcombined in one tool and operated with one handof the operator.

A further object of this invention is to simplify devices of thischaracter, rendering them comparatively heap in manufacture.

strong, durable and eilicientin use and which may be readily operated.

lVith these and other objectsin view my invent-ion consists of a novelconstructiom.

combination, formation and arrangement of parts which will behereinafter fully described, claimed and particularly pointed out in thedrawings in which:

'Figure 1 is a side elevation of the im.- proved form o f my invention.showing in dotted lines the position of the torch when oil is placed inthe charging cup for igniting the burner; Fig. 2 is a front elevationofthe tank; Fig. 3 is a'plan view ofthe scraping chisel; Fig. 4 is adetailed perspective view of the supportino' foot; Fig. 5 is a sideelevation of a modified form of my invention; Fig. 6 is a plan View ofthe gasolene-tank.

Referring now to the drawings wherein like parts are indicated by likecharacters of reference throughout the several views, the

numeral 1 indicates generally the preferred.

collar t whereby the pump may be removed in .rel-dhd51- the tank and theedges of the tank, as indicated 'by' the numeral 5, form a suiiablefunnel. when refilling the tank. llx- Specification of Letters Patent. i

tending from theopposite end of the tank is an angular feed pipe 6having a suitable burner 7 mounted at right angles to the end thereof. Acharge cup 8 is suitably secured to the feed pipe 6 anda usual turningvalve 9 is mounted in said. burner`for operating the flow' of gasolenethereto. *A suitable chisel supporting member 10 is secured to the frontend of the tank and has adjust` ably secured thereto a scraping chisel11. This chisel is provided With a slot 12 at one end thereof which isadjustably secured to the supporting member 10 by means of a set screw13. The forward end of this chisel is angularly bent as at 14 andterminates a short distance behind the flame from the burner 7 wherebythe Haine of the burner first heats the paint and. loosens kthe same andthe chisel closely follows to scrape the same. f

A spring supporting foot 15 is suitably secured by means of a clip 16 tothe end of the tank 2 whereby one end of the tank may be supported -iu araised position when filling the cln'irging cup, the said clip 16 havingextensions 17 which form suit-able stops forthe supporting foot 15.

The above described paint remover is used generally for painters indoing house work vor other small work but where a great deal of work 1sto be done and more gasolene isto be carried by an operator l provideanlother form ofa paint remover `which is indicated generally by thenumeral 1S. This modified form o'f my invention consists of a tank 19made preferably of metal which is adapted to be supported over the backof theoperator by means of a strap which is secured to loops 20/,formedupon t-he top of the tank. A pressire'pump 21 isvmounted in the frontend of the said tank and is provided with an octagonal collar 22 wherebythe same may be removed in refilling the tank. The tool as used 'in themodified form of the invention consists of a handle 23 which is made ofwood or any suitable asbestos material and has -extendingtherethroughafeed pipe 24 and the said handle is secured to said feed pipe by meansof a collar 26. -A chisel supporting member-10 is mounted to thefrontend of the said han- .dle and has rsecured thereto a chisel 11 andextending from the feed pipe 24,1is a' burner similar tothe burnerdescribed in theprefer-red form of the invention. .i flexible pipeconnects the feed pipe S24 with a. pipe los 26a mounted at the lower endof the tank A19.;- This is provided with a cap 27 which has mounted`therein a suitable lterwhereby the oil from the tankmay be filteredbefore entering the burner as 1s common. In filling the charging cup ofthe burner I provide ,pn thetank a suitable supporting member which issecured to the said tank by means of a guide 28. This supporting memberis made from one piece of wire having a loop 29 formed in one endthereof and ahook 30y in the opposite' end thereof whereby the same maybe adjusted to and from the tank in supporting the said burner.

It will be seen from the foregoing description taken in connectionWiththe accompanying drawings that I have provided a paint remover whichis simple in construction and easy to operate and it is to be understoodthat there are other minor details of construction which may be resortedto withoutdeparting from the spirit of the in-' vention and which comewithin the scope of the' appended claims. A A

Having thus described my invention what I claim is l. In ya paintremover, a handle, a feed pipe extending therethrough, the front end ofsaid feed pipe extending angularly therefrom, a-burner mounted at rightangles'lto the angular end thereof, a chisel supporting member secured,to the front of the said handle, a chisel provided at one end with' aslot, and ascrew adapted to extend through said slot for adjustablysecuring said chisel to said supporting member.

2. In,a paint remover, a handle, a burner secured thereto, a chiselaogustably mounted on one end of said handle, a supply tank, strapssecured to said tank adapted to be carried by the operator, a feed pipeextending through said handle and communicating withsaid burner, and aflexible tube connecting said feed pipe with said tank, substantially asdescribed.

3. Inl a paint remover, a handle, a feed pipe extending therethrough,an, angularY portion extending `Vfrom one end of said -feed pipe, aburner mounted on the angular endof said feed pipe, a charging pansecured at right angles to said angular end, a ehisel'supp'orting membersecured to said handle, a chisel adjustably mounted thereon, a supplytank, means for connecting. said supply tank with said feed pipe, and anadtank for supporting said burner, substantially'as described.

4. In a paint remover, a handle, a feed pipe extending therefrom, thefront end of said feed pipe extending angularly therefrom, a burnermounted at right angles to the angular end thereof, a chisel supportingmember secured to' the front of the said handle, a' chisel provided atone end with a slot, and a screw adapted to extend through said slot foradjustably securing said chisel r to said supporting member.

In testimony whereof, I aiix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
